TOP STORY: Arsenal planning Inter raid?

Arsenal are looking to bring Mauro Icardi to the Emirates if they fail to sign Lyon's Alexandre Lacazette, according to the Star.

The Gunners have been knocked back by OL so far and could now turn to the Inter star to give Olivier Giroud competition.

After falling short once again last season, Arsene Wenger is determined to add attacking quality to ensure they last the distance, and Icardi's ruthless streak in front of goal could fit the bill.

22:25 BST: The Mirror is reporting that West Brom have agreed a £16m fee with West Ham for the transfer of Diafra Sakho, making Saido Berahino's departure that much more likely.

West Brom hope to finish the deal before allowing Berahino to depart. The club are said to be in advanced negotiations with Stoke City and Crystal Palace for the forward's services.

22:12 BST: Former Manchester United striker Diego Forlan is the most recent football icon to weigh in on Paul Pogba's imminent move to Old Trafford.

Writing as a part of his blog for UAE publication The National, Forlan said: "Pogba's a good player, I like him ... He could well go on to become the best midfielder of his generation.

When asked if Pogba is worth the transfer record figures being linked to his move, Forlan responded: "He's worth whatever any club is willing to pay for him."

21:52 BST: Crystal Palace assistant manager Keith Millen has insisted that Wilfried Zaha is "more than happy" at Selhurst Park amid rumours that he could leave the Eagles, according to the Mirror. Reports suggest that Zaha was expecting a new contract, and with no fresh terms in sight, a move to Watford was in the works.

Millen said: "It's paper talk. Wilf is more than happy here. There is no response from the club because there is no need for one. It is just a story."

Zielinski, 22, has been linked with a number of clubs across Europe, including Liverpool and AC Milan. Reports suggest that Udinese president Giampaolo Pozzo will assess an €18m offer for the young player, who is said to be valued around €20m.

20:25 BST: Norwich are closing in on a £12m deal to sign Ross McCormack from Fulham, according to the Daily Mail. The 29-year-old Scot came close to joining Middlesbrough in January, but will now leave Craven Cottage after two seasons and 42 goals.

GazzaMercato in Italy quote Zenit Saint Petersburg boss Mirceu Lucescu as saying: "Axel asked to leave. I, at one point, had to add that I needed his experience, but I repeat, Witsel wants to leave."

19:36 BST: One Liverpool player who is unlikely to end up in Turkey is Mario Balotelli. Quotes attributed to Besiktas coach Senol Gunes have dismissed links between the club and the player.

19:15 BST: Galatasaray are close to agreeing a £2.3m move for Liverpool midfielder Lucas Leiva, Sky Sports claims. The Brazilian midfielder has long been linked with a move away from Anfield and is in the final year of his contract.

18:02 BST: Reacting to reported interest in Manchester United defender Paddy McNair, Celtic boss Brendan Rodgers said: "I can't say yes or no to that. There have been so many players who have been linked with Celtic I can't comment on everyone."

"I personally never had contact with [Jurgen] Klopp or Liverpool," Xhaka said. "A while ago, I spoke to Arsene Wenger. But this club fits to me and I fit to it. Arsenal play attractive football and I enjoy that. I think you could see against the MLS side that this team has a lot of quality and we'll give our all to show that on the pitch."

16.57 BST: Middlesbrough would like to take Enzo Zidane, the son of Zinedine, on loan from Real Madrid this coming season, according to AS. Enzo is currently on Real's preseason tour of the U.S. where he made his debut for the senior side in the game against PSG. Given Karanka's links with Los Blancos and their ambitious moves in the transfer market since earning a return to the Premier League this is one to watch.

"Maybe Riyad is distracted a bit by all of these rumours and speculation," Ranieri said at a news conference. "But that is also an experience for my players. It is important that he understands that he should stay with us. He has to improve his fitness and play for the team as well last season."

16.01 BST: Former Feyenoord winger Liandro Martis has said he has attracted interest from both Manchester United and Leicester City.

"I went into Leicester for a day and felt comfortable and got an offer," Martis told ESPN FC. "Then I went into Manchester United for a week and received good feedback from [reserves coach] Warren Joyce and could have earned a deal had I waited, but I just want to get my career started."

Martis, 20, is a free agent and he caught the eye of scouts in a trialist game for League One side Oldham Athletic earlier this month.

"We have time and we have to use the time. We have had some injuries. We need to make the boys as fit as possible. Ojo has only been with us for five days after coming from the tournament with England Under-19s."

The 19-year-old winger has previously been on loan with Wigan and Wolves.

Royals boss Jaap Stam said: "We're interested in him. The club are in talks with him. We're just waiting to see if it can go through. We want to have him at the club so we're just waiting on Leicester.

"I've seen him play, I think his style of play suits us -- but it's about Leicester as well and what they want to do."

11.12 BST: Christian Heidel, Schalke's sporting director, has said Manchester United were desperate to sign 19-year-old Switzerland international striker Breel Embolo from Basel before he completed a move to the Bundesliga.

"There are a number of reasons why we signed Embolo," he said. "First and foremost, there are sporting reasons. It's nothing new that he is a great player. There is a reason why Mourinho desperately wanted to sign him for Manchester United but we also see him as a player the Schalke fans can identify with, a bit like Benedikt Howedes, Leroy Sane and someone like Ralf Fahrmann."

10.57 BST:Jamie Vardy has explained why he decided to remain with Leicester and reject a move to Arsenal.

In an interview with Sky Sports, the striker said: "I've always said the brotherhood at Leicester is unbelievable. Personally I feel I have a lot of unfinished business here. It wasn't that big a decision, it was quite easy, this is where I wanted to be."

09.40 BST: Any players yet to feature for Manchester United this preseason should be worried, according to Jose Mourinho.

Wenger said: "The best way to conclude transfers is not to talk about them, which is very difficult in the press conference. We are on the market but I don't want to talk specifically about any player because that makes it more difficult for me -- and it's difficult enough.
